=== Hardware Lockout for Changes === | |||
Lenovo has, on various occasions and for various models, locked the hardware through BIOS in order to prevent unauthorized parts from being used. This can prevent a user from changing to a better wireless card, or using an aftermaket battery or even a battery for a different model of Lenovo computer. Hacks are available to workaround this limitation on certain models, such as the T430, but Lenovo has never offered an OEM method of removing this lock. | |||
